A titan, as defined by Samuel Yates, is anyone who has found a titanic prime. This page provides data on those that have found these primes. The data below only reflect on the primes currently on the list. (Many of the terms that are used here are explained on another page.)

When Gordon Spence found the Mersenne prime M2976221 he was
38 years old, married to Lynn, and had two daughters Rachel
(14) and Danielle (12). He lives in Hampshire UK and work
as an IT Manager for Thorn
Microwave Devices Ltd. His interests include: "drag
racing, playing quake, my family (not in that order!!) and
of course, searching for big prime numbers." Gordon has
always had an interest in mathematical recreations, and
wrote a fractal program 16 years ago for a 16KB Z80 based
machine, the Sinclair ZX81.
